Teach battery assembly, testing, configuration, balancing, and safety through a reusable classroom project\.\ An educational desktop project designed to teach students about the functions and assembly of lithium iron phosphate \(LiFePO4\) battery cells\. This interactive kit provides a hands\-on approach to understanding battery technology, making it an essential learning tool for those interested in EV’s, electronics, renewable energy, and battery storage systems\. \Educational Benefits:\ \ \Reusable \& rebuildable project for use year after year\ \Learn the purpose \& functions of batteries\ \Fits on a desk\ \Teach fundamentals of series \& parallel configurations\ \Test students knowledge through troubleshooting challenges\ \Practice proper wiring techniques\ \Intro to high voltage safety procedures\ \Designed for 2 \- 3 students per kit\ \ - [Electric Systems Lab](https://theswitchlab.com/programs/electric-systems-lab/): \Build a Complete EV System Before Building the Full Vehicle\ \The Electric Systems Lab is an educational tabletop project designed to teach students about the various components included within an electric drivetrain\.  It provides a safe and approachable format in a space\-saving design, enabling teachers to provide students hands\-on project\-based learning in a lower voltage format\. \ \Students learn technical skills such as wiring, diagnostics, battery systems, electric motors, controller setup, BMS setup, measurements, and safety\. They also practice the professional behaviors needed in real technical environments, including teamwork, documentation, communication, verification, role\-based collaboration, and structured troubleshooting\. \ \

Designed for 4 to 6 students per build, the lab gives schools a safe, repeatable way to teach complex EV systems before students move into full vehicle capstones like the DC/72v or PM/96v Switch Lab EV\. It is a strong fit for CTE, STEM, automotive, engineering, electronics, renewable energy, and technical education programs\.\ \Request a quote to see how the Electric Systems Lab can fit your CTE, STEM, automotive, engineering, or technical education pathway\.\ - [TEST, Workshop](https://theswitchlab.com/programs/test/): \What to Expect\ Experience \\The Switch Lab™\\ the same way your students will – learning, building, testing, and then driving the finished Switch EV as a complete project\-based learning process\. This training is appropriate for teachers from all disciplines – Auto Shop, Engineering, Physics, Robotics, Maker, and more\. It all takes place at the Switch Lab Workshop in Canton, Michigan\. \ \Comprehensive electric vehicle science and technology instruction\.\ \Learn about EV components\.\ \Lecture in the morning; build a Switch EV in the afternoon\.\ \Lectures are actual curriculum designed for discussion\.\ \Demonstrations and lab projects\.\ \Workshop manual \(Powerpoint presentations, additional sources of information\)\ \ 4\-1/2 Day Advanced \(Lithium Battery, Controller Programming\) \\No\-refunds for cancellations within 30 days\\\*\* - [The Switch Lab™ EV \- DC/72v](https://theswitchlab.com/programs/the-switch-lab-ev-dc-72v/): \

\\The Entry\-Level EV Capstone for Schools Ready to Start\\\ The DC/72v is the entry\-level full\-vehicle capstone in the Switch Lab EV Pathway\. Designed for middle school, high school, and introductory CTE/STEM programs, it gives students the opportunity to build, test, troubleshoot, and drive a complete electric vehicle while learning the fundamentals of wiring, batteries, DC motor systems, safety, and teamwork\. For administrators, the DC/72v is a practical way to pilot EV education, evaluate student engagement, and build support for future pathway expansion\. Schools can start with a complete hands\-on capstone, then grow into advanced systems such as the PM/96v, EV Trainer, and Electric Systems Lab as their program develops\. Students develop technical and professional skills by working through a real project from start to finish\. They read diagrams, organize components, wire systems, troubleshoot issues, document progress, and collaborate to complete a functioning EV\.   \Request a quote to see how our pathway solutions can fit your middle school, high school, STEM, CTE, or technical education program\.\ - [Relay Lab Kit](https://theswitchlab.com/programs/relay-lab-kit/): \Teach students how to interpret schematics, build circuits, terminate wires, and troubleshoot low\-voltage electrical systems\.\ \

The Relay Lab Kit is a reusable desktop project that turns electrical theory into applied classroom instruction\. Working in teams, students build a functional 12\-volt circuit while developing foundational skills in wiring, component identification, schematic interpretation, electrical safety, and troubleshooting\.\ \

Designed for two to three students per kit, the Relay Lab gives instructors a compact and repeatable way to introduce electrical systems in the classroom\.\ ## Testimonial Items - [Automotive Technology Instructor](https://theswitchlab.com/testimonial/automotive-technology-instructor/) - [STEM Teacher](https://theswitchlab.com/testimonial/stem-teacher/) - [Automotive Instructor](https://theswitchlab.com/testimonial/automotive-instructor-2/) - [Automotive Instructor](https://theswitchlab.com/testimonial/automotive-instructor/) - [Robotics Teacher](https://theswitchlab.com/testimonial/robotics-teacher/) ## Popups - [Downloads](https://theswitchlab.com/?post_type=popup&p=4589) - [Newsletter Signup \- Timed](https://theswitchlab.com/?post_type=popup&p=5188) - [Example: Auto\-opening announcement popup](https://theswitchlab.com/?post_type=popup&p=5080) - [Newsletter Signup Clicked](https://theswitchlab.com/?post_type=popup&p=5068) ## Popup Themes - [Default Theme](https://theswitchlab.com/?post_type=popup_theme&p=4580) - [Light Box](https://theswitchlab.com/?post_type=popup_theme&p=4581) - [Enterprise Blue](https://theswitchlab.com/?post_type=popup_theme&p=4582) - [Hello Box](https://theswitchlab.com/?post_type=popup_theme&p=4583) - [Cutting Edge](https://theswitchlab.com/?post_type=popup_theme&p=4584) ## Events - [ACTE Region II](https://theswitchlab.com/event/acte-region-ii/) - [ACTE CareerTech Vision](https://theswitchlab.com/event/acte-careertech-vision-2026/) - [NACAT Educators Conference](https://theswitchlab.com/event/nacat-educators-conference/) - [TOOLKIT TUNEUP – Automotive Training](https://theswitchlab.com/event/7921/) ## Categories - [Blog](https://theswitchlab.com/program/blog/) - [Uncategorized](https://theswitchlab.com/program/uncategorized/) - [Case Study](https://theswitchlab.com/program/case-study/) ## Tags - [Electric Vehicles](https://theswitchlab.com/program/electric-vehicles/) - [Community Colleges](https://theswitchlab.com/program/community-colleges/) - [Auto Tech Education](https://theswitchlab.com/program/auto-tech-education/) - [Automotive Technical Training](https://theswitchlab.com/program/automotive-technical-training/) - [STEM Curriculum](https://theswitchlab.com/program/stem-curriculum/) ## Product categories - [Curriculum](https://theswitchlab.com/program-category/curriculum/) - [Standard Workshop](https://theswitchlab.com/program-category/standard-workshop/) - [Program](https://theswitchlab.com/program-category/program/) - [MME Workshop](https://theswitchlab.com/program-category/mme-workshop/) ## Optional - [Sitemap index](https://theswitchlab.com/sitemap_index.xml)
